Welcome to Glow Mental Health

Counselling Services for Individuals & Couples In-Person in Kitchener-Waterloo and Virtual Therapy Across Ontario

Hello and Welcome! I’m Irfa. Founder of

Glow Mental Health.

Glow speaks to something quiet but powerful. The inner spark we each carry, even in our dimmest moments.

Over the past decade of working with individuals, couples, and families, I have learned that true healing emerges through connection with ourselves, with others around us, and with what gives us meaning.

Whether this is your first time reaching out or a return to therapy, I’m truly glad you’re here.
